Morning all, another glorious day another early morning on the beach with Charlie George, sadly a day of remembering my Dad too but he would be so excited for today. Yes it's Derby Day and most of the papers have written off Arsenal already before a kick in anger is taken.
Jimmy Greaves his morning has said Spurs now have a better team but he did go on to say they have never been a greater club. Even Harry himself has come out in defence of Arsene, saying that the games gone mad.! Actually although it hurts to say this we have to be thank full to them in a way. They helped us out in WW2 when Highbury had been damaged and we played home games at White Heart Lane. Some Gooners still believe that never happened but I do assure you it is true.
So we have out injured today 6 players, 3 of our defence and our kingpin in midfield, Jack. This compared to to Spurs 4 out which include Gallas, Dawson. We have RVP and looks like Walcott will be on the Wing with new contract boy Arshavin. Yes we have spent some more money so will it be a case of your score we score two more?
Our stats prove that we have been a better club since 1995 but stats say alot of things and it is what happens on the pitch today which is important not stats. So am I confident of a win? Honestly no, Am I hopeful of a win. Yes. We have the players to do it but lady luck may have to smile on us today too. I do hope Sky Bet to regret the advert their running about us throwing away the game today.
So fellow Gunners, it looks like a high scoring game, possible 3-3 again? RVP has scored 4 goals in his last 4 Premier League starts against Spurs. Lets have 4 more.
Enjoy guys and if it goes against us it will a case of "That long to beat our reserves"

I thought we played well in the first half even thou conceding a goal, and went down from there...
ReplyDeleteSecond half of the second half we looked better and seem to be dominating, but couldn't get it in the net.... Frustrating!
